I went out last night to try and remove some more of this mess. It was late, I was tired from the first time out, Broncos lost so not in the best of moods and didn't finish.
Today I'm making the girls help me finish or it's not getting done. Not having the Snow blower run really sucks. I'm either gonna get it fixed or get a new one. I'm getting to old to be out there shoveling by myself especially the amount we got. We have a 3 to 4 foot mountain in front of out front entry way.

My personal quest is to save to world of bad audio, one thread at a time. -
All the ice at my place melted in the afternoon rain yesterday and dried before the deep freeze happened this morning. So, it's just cold here. Low tomorrow morning is supposed to be 11F, which is very cold for Georgia.

Our area (upstate SC) escaped the worst that this storm could have offered us. Maybe 3/8" of a wintery mix frozen to the ground, with not much accumulation on the trees, since much of it was sleet that just bounced off of the branches.
It amazes me that folks are complaining that it didn't get as bad as the predictions. What? Some people don't know how to count their blessings and be happy that it didn't get that bad.
Driving will still be treacherous for a stint, but I for one, am happy that we escaped the worst. The original forecast was for between a 1/2" to 3/4" of ice. Who in their right mind would be disappointed that we didn't get what the forecast was? Are they hoping for widespread and catastrophic downed trees and power lines?
I just don't get some people these days.

Happy here too. I was dreading a lengthy power outage. I am never disappointed in a lack of ice buildup.

Yeah, this is what they were disappointed in not getting. In some areas of TN, they will be without power for days/weeks. I'll always be happy that we dodged that bullet.

What the heal are the kids doing inside while you're outside working?

These photos remind me of my childhood. My dad was a regional manager for the cable company.
When nasty storms would hit, they would offer massive amounts of OT to travel to hard hit areas to help get utilities and poles back up.
he would ALWAYS jump at it. The $$$ was a huge bonus for the family.
Whenever an employee was running OT/on call, it was a company perk that their residence received pay per view for free.
My dad always made sure to be "on call" for the big fights (with an understanding at dispatch to NOT call him
).
He finally realized when my older brother and I were early teens that free PPV meant, ALL PPV was free/unscrambled. That included the spicy stuff. I guess it somehow came up while they were eating lunch while he was traveling to put lines back up in Maine, and my dad just yelled "WTF, I HAVE TEEN BOYS IN THE HOUSE!".
Our fun was shut down after that. :'( -
